Hello Mr. King

Chapter 308: Yun Xiangxiang’s Rejection

Nobody aside from Milles paid attention to the news in China. Thanks to that, Yun Xiangxiang managed to film smoothly. Nobody asked her any questions.

Only Milles talked to her in private after the filming was done. “Why did this kind of news appear?”

There were small sections in France’s news that reported about this. Everyone knew about the villa owner’s habit of changing lovers frequently.

Yun Xiangxiang was just a no-name Chinese actress. Nobody would pay attention to her being the centerpiece of this story.

“Don’t worry, Milles. I’ll handle this. It will be over shortly.” Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t tell the whole story to Milles.

“Very well, then. I hope you can handle this well, or else the company might blame this on you.” Milles didn’t pry further. Instead, he gave Yun Xiangxiang a kind reminder.

Milles got this role for Yun Xiangxiang. It wasn’t because the producer chose her because of her box office record in China.

The contract clearly stated that the actor would have to pay for the damages they cause to the film if their image was tarnished.

The company’s management didn’t want to be accused of showing a bias toward Yun Xiangxiang because they slept with her.

It would harm their company’s entertainment business in France.

As Yun Xiangxiang pressed Eric, he skipped one whole day of work and handled it as fast as possible.

He used a few hours to transfer the mansion and the car to someone else.

Eric wanted Yun Xiangxiang to change the reason for her appearance there to the lines of Yun Xiangxiang shaking hands with Faye.

He would publicly announce that Yun Xiangxiang was there to talk about the business of collaboration with Faye. Eric would give her something to answer. Their family was in a lot of business.

If Yun Xiangxiang needed evidence, the security footage in the mansion on that day could be used.

But he didn’t make all the decisions for Yun Xiangxiang. Eric called her to ask about her opinion.

Yun Xiangxiang chuckled when Eric talked about his ideas. Eric was no doubt a true leader of a big family, she thought.

If Yun Xiangxiang agreed to his suggestions, she believed Eric would give her unimaginably bountiful rewards.

This action not only made Yun Xiangxiang look great, but it also raised Faye’s reputation.

Faye would become a legitimate successor who worked hard for the family, as she would be seen as searching for a collaborator for the family’s brand.

Yun Xiangxiang’s recording would be useless. Had she exposed this before they were seen to have mutual interests, most people would believe that Faye was evil.

But if they had mutual benefits, only half of the public would believe that Faye was evil if this recording was exposed.

If they became enemies and the Cardicra Family knew how to manipulate public opinion, only a tenth of the public would believe in that recording’s integrity.

And half of that ten percent would probably be Cardicra Family’s enemies.

“Mr. Eric, you have my gratitude for showing this level of respect. I wish to show that level of respect to you, that’s why I have to be honest. I don’t want to get into a situation where I would have a conflict of interest with Miss Faye,” Yun Xiangxiang refused.

Eric was in a different league than Faye was. He could have done it how he wanted. Yun Xiangxiang would still have to agree to it no matter what.

But he didn’t. He respected her and asked her opinion before doing anything. Yun Xiangxiang wouldn’t drag Eric into this just because of Faye.

They were two different generations of people. The parents might behave differently from their child, and the other way around would be true too.

Now that Yun Xiangxiang knew Faye was here as a punishment from Eric, Yun Xiangxiang knew Eric was someone who knew right from wrong. She told him what she thought without hiding anything.

“Even if I would have you become the global ambassador for the Cardi wristwatches?” Eric asked again.

The Cardi wristwatch was the world’s top wrist watch series. Their most expensive model could be sold for tens of thousands of yuan.

It was beloved by the rich and powerful around the world. It was a symbol of status and wealth.

The brand didn’t have any Asian ambassadors so far, but that didn’t stop Asians from knowing its value.

If Yun Xiangxiang were to become the Cardi wristwatches’ ambassador, she would see a leap in her status, net worth, and image.

Actors all around the world would envy her.

It was an irresistible temptation, at least to most actors.

But Yun Xiangxiang declined the offer without skipping a beat. “I’m sorry, Mr. Cardicra. I think that I won’t have the honor to be the Cardi wristwatches’ ambassador.”

If she refused this offer, she would never get this chance again.

“I understand.” Eric sighed weakly.

Eric was a smart man, or else he wouldn’t be able to control a large family like Cardicra. He was testing Yun Xiangxiang.

He wasn’t planning on coercing her. The Cardicra Family was in the wrong this time.

After ending the call with Eric, Yun Xiangxiang called He Wei to tell him about this. She had to. She just refused an endorsement where the fees could reach astronomical levels.

She was affecting the company’s profit. There might not be that many people who knew about it, but there were some who did. This matter might come to light someday.

He Wei would be disappointed if he knew of this from someone else. Yun Xiangxiang would be disrespecting him.

He Wei heaved a sigh after he listened to her. “I’ll make a note of this. You owe me. You better pay me back bit by bit.”

Yun Xiangxiang grinned. “I know, I know. I’ll work hard to pay my debts.”

Yun Xiangxiang did owe the company one. She was the company’s actress. The company handled her image.

When this news came out, Yun Xiangxiang was the first one to take the hit. Even so, the company suffered more losses compared to her.

The company had invested a lot of resources on her. They had a lot of plans laid out for her too.

If she fell from grace, not only would the company lose all its investments, it would affect their plans after this.

But now the Cardicra Family was willing to pay for the damage they caused. This endorsement didn’t only mean Yun Xiangxiang’s leap in her value.

It could set a precedent for the other agents to get endorsements for international brands.

Yun Xiangxiang wasn’t just giving up money. She was giving up a whole chain of profit for the company.

This was different from Lucifer, giving her the endorsement for the clothing brand back then. That was a scheme by someone. The company might need to pay a heftier price later on.

Even if the company knew she refused, they couldn’t blame her.

But this time, it was a sure-win offer to everyone else but Yun Xiangxiang. If the company knew, she would be in deep trouble.

But now that He Wei knew about it, he could shoulder the responsibility for her even if the company would grill anyone about it.

This was the first time she did things the way she wanted to. She did it for herself, not for anyone, not for profit.

“As long as you’re happy,” He Wei doted on her.
